Spoken: Word Ambassadors: Prayers and Poetry

            Spoken

            Spoken words of prophecy

            so long ago proclaimed

           

            now perhaps only a dream

            never to be fulfilled

            sorrow edged thought

            stale bread today.

            No, Peter shouts. Words

            never lost or forgotten

            see, listen, understand,

            Spirit has come as promised.

Faith Seeds: Prayers and Poetry

Spoken

old sayings once

fresh now dismissed

as irrelevant, obsolete.

an excuse to ignore

truths claiming confession

through obscurity.

at least when prophets

spoke of old listeners

knew the source

and could not cloak

dis-regard for ignorance,

took responsibility for disdain.

overt, subtle, various

ways still speak

ancestors’ message today.

audience: one to one.
